Drone captures July 4 street fireworks in S.F.

A local filmmaker used his drone to record fireworks being set off in San Francisco’s Mission and Bernal Heights neighborhoods on the Fourth of July, then posted the unique footage to his YouTube page. Eddie Codel told KGO that he shoots such video as a hobby.

“The FAA has basically said that there’s no commercial use of these drones right now. They’re figuring out the regulations but currently, if you were to fly them commercially, you would be breaking their law, or their regulations,” he said.
